You know what, two out of three of the women in this household being ill is really shedding light on the patriarchal structure of this family

My mum's going through a prolapse and I've got a severe flare of ME/CFS, and it's still us doing all the work.

As my dad plays guitar and video games and my brother (yes the nazi one, they're still refusing to deal with that) sits yelling at his mates on Fortnite.

It really is something.

#In defence of my little sister she's nine #why we need feminism #feminism #radical feminism #My mum insists it's the fault of us kids which is interesting because; #1. My sister is 9 #2. I really do do quite a lot around here. It's just that she assumes she did it or doesn't notice. #3. Her husband is Right There on final fantasy vii not giving a single shit™ #Just interesting yano

Writing Prompt: The Cruelest Wish

gabriel got his wish: to go into the afterlife with emilie, and to heal nathalie. but both he and nathalie were at death's door, only hours away from perishing, when he made the wish - so his sacrifice of dying a little too early was not enough to balance things out. the wish recognised this, so when it read his heart and soul, it also recognised that gabriel fundamentally was the same as before... and that he still hated ladybug a lot.

the consequence was that marinette was given the same injury. either gabriel's or nathalie's wound was transferred to her, leaving her with a ticking clock that will slowly but surely kill her. and even though the injury was given to her in the earliest stages, she knows it can't be reversed by something so easy as tikki's cure spell.

she tries to mask it at first - by wearing clothes that cover more of her, and scarfing down over-the-counter painkillers. she doesn't tell any of her friends, not even alya or tikki or cat noir or adrien; she knows that if she tells anyone, the scaffold of lies she's built up will crumble. and she doesn't want to worry people. so she goes about her business as normal, or at least as normal as she can with her reduced health. as ladybug, she can still jump around as normal and take punches that would floor an adult man, but she's always more exhausted - and in pain - after detransforming. and she gets winded more easily, and sometimes feels her legs or arms buckle or her head grow faint, which at first everyone reads as just clumsiness.

but as time goes on... her deterioration becomes very noticeable. she gets dizzy spells in class and struggles to climb stairs. after she coughs up blood and faints while out with the girl squad, and wakes up in hospital with alya and rose by her side, she knows she doesn't have much time left. so she goes to su-han and asks if he knows of a cure. and he tells her there is one... but the things she'll need to do to get/make it will be gruelling.

Adrien panicking after Cataclysming his father/Monarch: Félix, I need— can you please stop singing ‘He had it coming’?— I need help explaining this to Ladybug!

Félix, having the greatest day of his life: Oh, she’ll understand.

Hawk Moth, crackling with energy and backed up by hundreds of akumas: "YOU HAVE INSULTED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!!!" Chat Noir, unbothered: "No I haven't, your mask looks tacky!" Ladybug grabbing Chat and throwing him over her shoulder: "Ok, we are shutting up now and going!!!"

Huh, guessing this is for season 6? Looks legit.

Honestly Marinette being Ladybug is known by quite a few people at this point, between Luka, Alix, Alya, Felix, and Kagami. I'm gonna be disappointed if she doesn't at least SUSPECT Felix of having taken it.

Gabriel figuring out Chat Noir’s secret identity based on a single word he happened to overhear the one time he ever thought to tuck his son in to bed is one of the funniest things ever, because it implies that Gabriel has overheard Chat Noir flirting with Ladybug  so many times that it is does not matter that the magic of the miraculous obscures Adrien’s voice just like it does his face, or that Chat Noir is a celebrity in Paris, and likely made that word a mainstream term of endearment. Gabriel is so obsessed that he can tell when he’s hearing the genuine Chat Noir saying it (and then left without tucking his son into bed).

And see, this makes me wonder: was Gabriel lowkey invested in the romance? Was he enjoying Chat Noir’s puns? Watching to see if the poor guy ever made any progress at winning his lady’s heart? Was this a secret silver lining that he got to look forward to every time he lost, and was he mad that Adrien had just ruined it by revealing his double life, and that he had been tricked into giving a damn about his son’s love life?

Younger me, looking at Chloe Bourgeois: I can fix her

*Seasons 4 and 5 occur

[thetardisisnotourdivision]

I love that season 5 of Miraculous Ladybug brought back Lady Noir and Mr. Bug. Both because it was a fun episode, and because it gave me hope that maybe—just maybe—we might see the return of Multimouse in season 6.

Hear me out!

I know that Mylène is the holder of the mouse miraculous, but imagine there’s an episode where she’s sick and cannot participate in a mission that absolutely requires the mouse miraculous. Adrien, who’s seen the mouse miraculous expertly wielded in the past by someone he has become a verified simp for in the interim, would pull Ladybug aside and suggest they temporarily give it back to Marinette. Afterall, the only reason Marinette didn’t work out in the past was because Chat Noir found out her secret identity, but he knows the identities of several of their teammates now and it’s no big deal. They know they can trust Marinette, and surely Mylene wouldn’t mind if it's for the greater good.

Marinette would flail and insist that they cannot give the mouse to Marinette maybe a skosh too loudly, catching the attention of the other heroes who showed up to fight whatever akumatized villain they happen to be fighting. Carapace would go, “WOAH! You’re thinking about bringing in Marinette? That’s great!”

Then Minotaurox, forgetting that no one knows that he’s Ivan, and has a unique connection to Mylène, would chime in, “Polymouse LOVES Marientte! She would definitely lend her her miraculous!”

And everyone starts talking about how great Marinette is, and Chat Noir is just standing there beaming while Ladybug’s struggling to find a reasonable excuse not to give in. But now everyone is practically chanting “Mar-In-Net! Mar-In-Net!” except for Alya, Kagami, and Felix, who are all fully aware of why Ladybug cannot ask Marinette for help. And then she gets an idea.

Ladybug explains that asking someone to lend out their miraculous is a tremendous imposition, and that they will only approach Polymouse about the idea if (and she pauses to count how many heroes are present) 4 out of 7 of them agree that it's the right thing to do. They do a show of hands, and the pro-Marinette team wins with Felix, hand unabashedly raised, staring Marinette dead in the eyes, because he can't wait to see what she's going to do. 

And Marinette then has to slink off with Alya to concoct some overly complicated plan to use both mirculouses at the same time with none of their teammates realizing what’s going on.

Meanwhile, Adrien is so excited to have his girlfriend on the team that he cannot stop making cat and mouse jokes. Which start off innocently enough, but progressively get more flirty as the mission goes on because he just cannot help himself. Unfortunately for him though, the Multimouse he’s talking to is actually an illusion being controlled by Rena Rouge, who does not understand the history between Chat Noir and Marinette. Noticing something’s off, Adrien remembers that the last time Marinette and Chat Noir interacted, he broke her heart. And while they left things on as friendly a note as possible at the time, he starts to worry that Marinette is still hurt. He spends the rest of the mission trying to have a heart to heart with Marinette to see if they can still be friends, while Alya is desperately trying to shake him off, dodging attempted hugs and reassuring hands on the shoulder, because Chat Noir is constantly on the verge of exposing everything in his attempts to salvage his friendship with Ladybug’s secret identity.

I mean, that would be a fun episode, right? It’s not just me?

#Ok but that is absolutely the most FELIX thing to do ever

One of my friends called me a hazard after I declared myself a "strong, independent whatever-the-fuck-I-am"

Therefore from now on whenever anyone asks me my gender I'm gonna say hazard.

Thank you and goodnight.

Alya, Nino, Marinette, and Adrien are the type of friend group who you can't tell if they're dating or not. Like it doesn't matter who's actually in a relationship with who, Nino will still carry Marinette on his back when she's exhausted from staying up late, Alya will refuse to stop talking about how talented Nino is with his music and how he deserves so much more credit, Adrien will get scolded by Marinette for not eating breakfast, and Adrien will grab Alya just to fix her hair. Like they all give off the biggest polyamory vibes even if none of them are dating within the group.

I had the weirdest fucking dream where I came across this post with the caption "all three of these people could have stopped 😢" (I'm not sure but it meant something about "they could have changed" yada yada) anyway the image was of Ms Bustier and like a five year old Chloe Bourgeois spray painting "Barry B. Benson" and the entire script of the bee movie onto a brick wall in yellow paint.

Britons to delay holidays in Europe to avoid digital border chaos after Brexit

Britons stand to postpone trips to EU countries to avoid travel chaos when the new European Union border system (EES) is introduced later this year, INews reports.

The automated system for non-EU nationals to register when they cross the EU’s external border is expected to come into effect in October. The innovation will require non-EU travellers to undergo facial scans and register their fingerprints.

Travellers have been warned to stock up on extra time to beat the extra queues and remember that their insurance may not cover losses due to border delays.

One travel expert who spoke to i even advised British travellers to postpone EU trips for at least two weeks after the system comes into force. This comes after the Eurostar boss told the BBC that the app, designed to make it easier for British travellers to cross the Channel, would not be ready for the introduction of the new EES system.

Ashford Borough Council previously told MPs that travellers could face 14-hour or longer queues at the border after the new scheme was introduced post-Brexit.

Part 206 of my bakery “enemies” au!

THE END!! I can't believe I finally completed this. When I first started this comic, I had no idea that it would end up being this long. A little over 3 years and over 200 parts, so around 2000 panels. (My folder that holds all my files relating to this comic is 3 GB with 2,017 items....). I honestly can't believe that I managed to stick around to the end of this. Thank you all so much for the support, I never imagined that so many people would care about this comic when I started it!

Of course, there are still some loose threads. The kwamis and Nathalie for example, but the core of this series has always been about the emotional conflict between Marinette and Adrien, and that has been resolved. I have some epilogue ideas to cover those loose ends, but this comic has already taken so much of my time and I'm not sure I want to promise that I'll get around to it. ... But who knows. Maybe!

For now, Adrien and Marinette will get some long-deserved rest.

When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”

I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.

Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”
